I am immortal in the immortal world

Chapter 397
"The ancients said that only women and villains are difficult to raise!"

Eunuch Zhao took a sip of tea and looked at Zhou Yi triumphantly, as if enjoying a monkey show.

"Now it seems that what the ancients said is wrong, villains and women are far less cunning and cunning than eunuchs."

A coldness flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes, and he sat opposite Eunuch Zhao, and said with a smile on his face.

"Our family is very grateful to Eunuch Zhao for the tea. I will wait for you to finish drinking it today. As long as you make a confession, our family promises not to move your clan's heirs!"

Surprise flashed in Eunuch Zhao's eyes. He thought that the last card to save his life was actually seen through.

"Our family is the Queen of King Jing, and the family fortune has fallen, so we have to be slaves and handmaids. Since the day we entered the palace, we have never talked about our background with others. How did Eunuch Yi know?"

"Our family has its own channels."

Zhou Yi suddenly realized that King Jing was very famous in the Daqing Dynasty, which can be traced back to the founding period of Taizu.

Eunuch Zhao took out the account book from his cuff, and said: "You have found out the details of our family, so don't ask for the gold medal from the ancestors. This is the list of imperial supervisors and merchants."

Zhou Yi quickly flipped through it, and it recorded in detail the origins of the tribute merchants, the backers behind them, and even the share between them and the backers.

The account book is one finger thick, densely packed with tribute entries, involving almost all the court officials.

"This ledger..."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but his eyes turned red. Mastering this account book is equivalent to grasping the criminal evidence of a court official, and he can threaten the other party to do things at any time.

Now Zhou Yi is also in charge of two prisons, and is very powerful in the palace, but his background is too low, and he basically has no foundation outside the palace.

With this account book, it is easy to make up for the shortcomings, and the power of the inner court and the outer court is overwhelming.

Suddenly.

Zhou Yi thought of Lao Lu's warning, "cautious" and "abstinence from greed", it was like a basin of cold water was poured over the head, and the true energy in the hands was circulating, crushing the account book into pieces.

"Hmph, you are about to die, and you dare to deceive the people and frame the court officials!"

Eunuch Zhao was slightly taken aback, and finally looked straight at Zhou Yi, admiring: "No wonder our family fell into your hands, it really is not like ordinary people."

While speaking, Qiqiao bleeds and dies.

Zhou Yi was so frightened that he backed away again and again, and ordered his servants to come forward to investigate. It turned out that the tea contained poison.

"Take everyone down and search our house carefully!"

After a while.

Under the bed of Eunuch Zhao, the servant found a gold medal for avoiding death, with the origin of the gold medal engraved on the back.

Taizu Nian's sixth son, King Jing, has made great military exploits, and he issued this certificate to avoid major crimes other than treason!

……

three days later.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Your Majesty, I have investigated the Rouge case, and the persons involved have been arrested with the sign of the housekeeper on duty."

Zhou Yi knelt in the hall, offering the memorial with both hands.

Eunuch Yuan came over to pick up the memorial, and took a deep look at Zhou Yi. In the past three days, there was a great commotion inside and outside the palace, and Caishikou had his head chopped off for three days.

Thousands of people were escorted to Beijing from various places, and all of them ransacked their homes and beheaded for the crime of treason and corruption.

In the past, everyone knew about the prison, and the turmoil was only in the palace. After the Rouge case, everyone in the inner court and the outer court knew that the ruthless father-in-law was cruel.

Emperor Zhengtong took the memorial and glanced at it casually. He had already known what happened in advance through the Zhenfu Division.

According to the report of the Zhenfu Department, this case is the descendants of King Jing, unwilling to be resigned to decline, and joining forces with a certain prince, intending to do what is impossible.

The Zhouyi memorial did not dare to say so clearly, it only pointed out the identity of Zhao Gonggong, and presented the gold medal for avoiding death, and the Zhujiu clan was changed to exile in northern Xinjiang.

Emperor Zhengtong quickly flipped through the list of people involved in the case. He didn't care how many people died, and looked directly at the proceeds from the house raids.

Fifteen million taels!
"Good job."

Emperor Zhengtong nodded slightly. Such a large amount of silver taels was enough for the army to conquer the west, and there were still two or three million taels left to repair the palace.

"I heard that many people sent you notes?"

"Your Majesty, the servants are terrified."

Zhou Yi kowtowed again and again, and said: "The slaves obey the laws of the country and do not contact foreign ministers. They didn't answer any of those notes and turned them all away!"

After experiencing the temptation of the account book, Zhou Yi suddenly realized.

The root of the orthodox emperor's trust, I am afraid that force is second, and lack of foundation is the first.

Once the rouge case is used to link up with foreign ministers, I am afraid that I will lose my family immediately, and my life may even be in danger, so I dare not accept anyone's note.

Of course, whoever handed over the note to Zhou Yi knew that the corresponding merchants were outside the scope of house raids.

The orthodox emperor snorted slightly, then changed his voice and said: "I will be rewarded for my merits, and the imperial prison will be supervised by you, so I can handle things in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty..."

Zhou Yi's face showed joy, and things went smoothly than expected. He thought he needed to support a puppet to go to the imperial prison.

"Go back."

Emperor Zhengtong waved his hand, watched Zhou Yi leave happily, and turned to look at Eunuch Yuan with a gloomy face.

"Xiao Yuanzi, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the admiral of the third supervisor is something that has never happened in the country."

Eunuch Yuan next to him said in a low voice: "The supervisor on duty is in charge of guarding the palace, and the imperial supervisor is involved in going in and out. Everyone knows that the supervisor is in charge of the internal treasury. Eunuch Yi has more power than the chief admiral!"

The chief admirals of the twelve divisions have an honorable status, but they cannot directly interfere with the admirals of each division. Once there is any objection from the top and bottom, it must be reported to His Majesty for a decision.

"What I will do is unprecedented in the kingdom!"

Emperor Zhengtong said slowly: "We need a man with a sword, and Xiao Yizi is just right. As long as you do things faithfully, for the sake of the people of Daqing, it's nothing to give him some power."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Eunuch Yuan's eyes flashed joy, he had already predicted the ending of Zhouyi, and in the future he would definitely release it to quell public anger.

……

On duty.

Zhou Yi stared at the three gold seals on the table, doubts flashed in his eyes.

"It went so smoothly, Your Majesty just let our family be the admiral and the third supervisor, so you are not afraid of any trouble?"

"In terms of loyalty and background, we can't even rank high. Compared with those old people in the palace, our only advantage is... dare to kill people, dare to raid their homes!"

Zhou Yi thought up to this point, and vaguely understood what His Majesty asked him to do.

"A knife for killing people, but, how can there be endless knives in this world?"

At this time.

The godson hurried in and reported in a low voice: "Godfather, I finally found out who the queen's family is."

"Tell me."

Zhou Yi restrained his mind, the balance in his heart was slowly tilting towards the queen, he could make a knife, but he didn't want someone to use it to anger the common people one day.

"Your Majesty is actually a Jianghu girl..."

The godson said: "It is rumored that during the period of the late emperor, His Majesty was convicted of a crime by his father. On the way to exile in northern Xinjiang, he was robbed by bandits. The Empress saved His Majesty's whole family with a single sword!"

"Ok?"

Zhou Yi frowned, and subconsciously denied the rumors. How could there be bandits in Daqing who dared to attack the imperial army escorting the emperor's grandson.

"It's not impossible, maybe it's the princes who will eradicate future troubles."

"However, our family has never believed in heroes saving the beauty. According to the old deer, we can infer from the results, whoever benefits will be responsible..."

Zhou Yi immediately determined that the robbery must have been planned by the queen, even though there was no evidence.

"No wonder the Empress is anxious to let us stand in line. I'm afraid His Majesty doesn't believe it, or doesn't care about saving lives at all, and has doubts about the people next to him!"
